I don’t even know what to charge for aligners.


If you’re unsure about pricing… you’ll always undercharge.

I did that for months.

I priced low because I was scared to lose the case.

But that just led to resentment — more work, less profit, no sustainability.

Then I switched to a model that made sense — for me and the patient.

Here’s how I price aligners now:

  • Take your lab fee (let’s say $1,200–$1,800)
  • Multiply it by 3x for your total fee — that builds in profit, chairtime, and refinements
  • Script the value confidently: “This is designed to minimize refinements and get you results faster. If we don't correct this problem now - it will cost you 5x in the future to fix.”

It’s not about being the cheapest.

It’s about being confident, clear, and consistent.

We breakdown pricing and how to frame the value to patients inside our Aligner Blueprint course. If you feel ready to take the first step to more confidence with aligners - check it out.

A diagnosis changed everything—but it also opened the door to an entirely new career in dentistry. She Couldn’t Practice Dentistry Anymore. Here's What Happened Next. Most dentists enter the profession with a clear vision. Help patients. Build a successful practice. Create financial freedom. Enjoy the career they've worked so hard to achieve. But sometimes, life has other plans. After being diagnosed with arthritis, Dr. Mariz Tanious was forced to step away from clinical dentistry. What could...

There is a conversation I keep having. It comes up in coaching calls. It comes up after Momentum Meetings. It comes up in the messages I get after a video goes up. It almost always sounds like this: "I know I should be doing more aligner cases. I just don't feel ready yet." I understand that feeling completely. Because every meaningful thing I have built in my career started with it. Practicing as a dentist. Starting clear aligners. Posting my first video online. Building a course. Teaching...

Instead of pretending everything was carefully mapped out, Hardik shares the real story: Getting a bank to fund a startup with no business plan. Why being a "terrible employee" pushed him into...
